Moving Checklist ... the ESSENTIALS!


Now, DON'T FORGET TO...

  • Cancel or transfer deliveries, newspaper, garbage collection, etc. Coordinate the transfer of gas, electric, (water & sewer when not handled by title company.) with the next occupant of your old home, as well as with the previous owner of your new home, so as to avoid lapses in sevice and extra re-start expenses.
  • Check on personal items that might be at the photo shop, bank safe deposit box, a neighbor’s house, on lay-away or in the repair shop (i.e., shoe repair, jewelry store, small appliance repair or dressmaker).
  • Make arrangements for transporting your plants and pets.
  • Save the phone book from your former city residence for tying up loose ends or for future correspondence.
  • Transfer insurance policies or arrange for new policies.
  • Gather all valuables, jewelry, important papers (birth certificates, deeds, documents) to take with you personally.
  • Have the car serviced for the trip.
  • Pack an arrival kit of necessities just in case you arrive before the mover.
  • Get refunds from your present utility and phone companies and arrange for service at your new home.
  • Purchase moving insurance. Your mover’s liability for lost or damaged goods will not equal their replacement cost.
  • Appraise valuable items, such as antiques, art pieces, etc.
  • Check with your attorney about your will if crossing state lines.
  • Ask for professional referrals if available (i.e. doctor, accountant, etc.)
  • Change these addresses: Post Office, charge accounts, subscriptions (at least four weeks in advance), relatives and friends, national and alumni organizations, church, mail order clubs (books, tapes, catalogues), firms with which you have time payments, past employer in order to receive your W-2 form.
  • Save your old address labels to speed up your change of address forms.
